Friendships are built over decades, loyalties are deeply rooted and secrets are guarded at all costs…until betrayal strikes and the cracks begin to show.”
Drama will continue to unfold when “the ladies retreat to one of Newport’s most historic and privately owned mansions, Seaview Terrace, for a glamorous weekend that rivals the Gilded Age, where opulence sets the stage for major shake-ups. Later, a sun drenched excursion to beloved East Coast getaway Block Island pushes tensions to a breaking point as two couples go head-to-head. When lines are crossed and truths surface, nothing — and no one — is off limits.”

“They’re very green. They don’t do a lot of social media. They weren’t really privy to all the shows, so they are really, truly themselves. They don’t try to be anyone else, and I love that about them,” she added. “So I think we’re all going to embrace that part of them, but they’re very green, so I don’t know. They did not hold back. Unfiltered to the max.”
